1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon oil
1 large finely diced onion (about 2 cups)
2 inches chopped ginger
5-6 sliced garlic cloves
2 chopped tomatoes (about 2 cups)
2-3 tablespoons oil
2 bay leaves
2 inch stick of cinnamon
3 cardamoms
6 cloves
2 tablespoons kashmiri chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1 1/2 cup water
2 slit green chilies
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup thick coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
fresh cilantro (for garnish)
1

Start by boiling 12 eggs and make cuts on the egg whites to allow flavor to penetrate and prevent splattering.

2

Season the eggs with 1 teaspoon of kashmiri chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Swirl to coat the eggs evenly.

3

Heat a pan on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Fry the eggs for about 1 minute until they are slightly crispy on the outside.

4

Remove the fried eggs and place them in a bowl. In the same pan, add 3-4 tablespoons of oil and add 1 large finely diced onion (about 2 cups). Saute until golden brown.

5

Add 2 inches of chopped ginger and 5-6 sliced garlic cloves to the onions and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.

6

Add 2 chopped tomatoes (about 2 cups) and saute until they turn soft.

7

Remove the pan from heat, allow it to cool slightly, and then puree the mixture in a blender.

8

Return the pan to heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil, and add 2 bay leaves, 1 stick of cinnamon, 3 cardamoms, and 6 cloves. Saute until aromatic.

9

Lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of kashmiri chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder. Saute to cook the spices without burning them.

10

Add the tomato-onion paste back to the pan and continue to cook on low heat until the oil separates from the mixture.

11

Add 1 1/2 cup of water and stir to combine.

12

Add 2 slit green chilies and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, then stir again.

13

Increase heat to medium and cover the pan to bring to a boil.

14

Once boiling, add 1 cup of thick coconut milk and stir to mix.

15

Season the curry with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional). Mix well.

16

Cover the pan and allow to come to a bubble again, then remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves.

17

Gently roll the fried eggs in the curry and cover the pan, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

18

Switch off the heat and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
